I have to agree

the real allure of the 6007 is having it where not many can. Were it in standard production, few would probably buy it as it lacks Patek DNA and so closely resembles three or four other watches especially the JLC. The 5212 now that is something really desirable on its owns merits.

Another 6007A incoming

Collected my 6007A today. I also had a black calf skin strap fitted to my 5212A. 6007A is a very beautiful watch and it is much better in real life compared to the photos. However if I can have only one steel Calatrava it will be the one on the right. Out...
Thanks

Had the 5212A for nearly 10 months now, just had a new black calf skin strap fitted in.
First of all, huge congrats on your 6007A.

I prefer 6007A. It’s a modern and sporty looking Calatrava. I really dislike the font of 5212A; the complication is nice though. Best, V.
Thanks!

I agree they could have done better with the font of 5212A
Thanks.

5212A is a very interesting watch.
For me, the ...

6007 for sure due to its clean dial !
Huge congrats on both!!

Personally for choice I would be in the minority camp here... but 6007a for me
Congratulations, great pair 👍

I also own both and although they are quite different and I don’t really have a favourite, if pushed I would go with the 6007A. ...
Thanks Russell.

Your photos looks great and I need to learn from you how to take such great photos
Congrats again on the 6007, and on a dream modern Calatrava duo!😉🥂

Asking to choose is tough😀Honestly, two very good looking pieces, and both historically significant for a critical line of the brand...If I have to, I’m voting for the 5212 only because it’s the #1 of the “new Calatrava generation” and I’ve had several ch...
The 5212A

for the lovely egg shell white patina on the dial, for the gorgeous lugs, for the typo of the days of the week and months resembling handwritten typo, for being on my wrist a lot of the time!
Congratulations...enjoy in the best health!
By: mahesh : July 28th, 2020-12:18
my vote would go for Weekly Calendar...I like the font, the dial color, and the stepped lugs....let us say I like everything about it ! Best, Mahesh.,
wonderful

you are envious of having both peculiar(new type) Calatrava
Congratulations!

If I had to pick one of these two, it would be the 5212 without a doubt.
I have to agree

I just love the 5212.
By: Pythagoras : July 28th, 2020-22:43
The way the days and weeks are printed is so unique in the watchmaking world. It is simply fascinating how patek dared to be different and to stand above the crowd without overdoing it, that is, with subtlety and class. Kudos to the team who conceived thi...
Congratulations on the 6007a

My personal preference goes to the 5212, I feel it’s has an easy going elegance to it. A certain je nes se quois. Enjoy both ! H.
No doubt the 5212

Is my pick, I own one and love it. The font, the lugs, the unique complication etc...JIm ...
